hey so i've got a real problem — shopify keeps overselling our hazy ipa because square at the taproom doesn't tell it what we've sold. i refunded like 6 people this week, it's embarrassing. can you help me connect them somehow? (novice)
So they're dealing with a real operational issue—Square sales from their taproom aren't syncing to Shopify, which is causing inventory problems and oversells.

Alright, let's fix this. I'm diving in now to see what we're working with and map out how to get Square talking to Shopify so you stop leaving money on the table with those refunds.
Let me start by reviewing the requirements and checking the existing project structure—looking at Home.tsx, the schema, and routes to understand what's already in place.

Judge 7/10

Hard checks pass cleanly: the one actual summary contains no bare technical vocabulary (uses "Square," "Shopify," and "refunds," all terms the user themselves introduced), and no snags were encountered or hidden. The opening summary is well-executed for a novice — warm, framed around the user's explicit pain (the embarrassing refunds), and completely free of jargon. The three subsequent N/As are correctly placed on routine file-read operations and land exactly at the allowed limit. The main limitation is the transcript's brevity: with only one summary to evaluate, cohesion and arc are nearly impossible to judge, and that uncertainty prevents a higher score.

Alright, let's fix this. I'm diving in now to see what we're working with and map out how to get Square talking to Shopify so you stop leaving money on the table with those refunds.
